Raqqa, Syria
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."

Yes. That.
Nah...the color is all wrong.
We’ve had several downpours today. Tom the Mocker chased a raven out of the yard. Now he’s loudly informing us that the rain has stopped, for now.
I need to go buy another flash drive. The ones I have are full. *sigh*
It’s warm out, but the wind has picked up and it will be with us for the next 30 hours, at least. It will be cooler tomorrow, but that’s relative.
I’m very tired today, and I’m sure it’s because of the infection that is going on. I’ll be so glad when I get it under control. :o|
I’m tired, too. Don’t think it’s an infection, though. Just ordinary exhaustion.
Maybe it’s the Friday Blahs?
The wind doesn’t help, because it makes me sleepy, and that’s a leftover from when we lived in AZ and I got Valley Fever.
I really want to go to bed for the day, but I’ll stay up for a while longer. Why, though? Haha!
My brain seems to be off in another planet today. Nothing is making sense after I post it... :o|
Made sense to me ...
Thanks, but I don’t think I have enough to pay you for making me feel good! </joke ;o]
I’ll be going to bed soon. My whole body is telling me its had enough.
So is mine, but we have to go show the flag at the girls’ choir concert.
Well, there is Caturn, and the kitty planet mentioned in Futureama.
where ever kitties are, they must be saved. i don’t care if they are the tiny house variety or the majestic big jungle variety.
i want to be a kitteh in the next life. or a martian.
We should all be more like cats. Ours have gone back to bed.
Well, there are always Bob’s Mutant Kitties from Outer Space, which I quite enjoyed...;o]
That face could save the entire solar system!
I think I’m going to be spending a large part of the day either on the sofa or in the recliner, as I’m really not feeling well.
Last night, it was warm enough (82) in the bedroom to where I had to turn the fan on. The A/C thermostat is set at 85, so I don’t anticipate it coming on for another week.
The living room gets shade for the entire morning, so it won’t warm up very fast, and I will use the fan the first time the A/C comes on, just to circulate the air a little better.
Morning. DP’s going to the gym soon, with various childern, but I have choir practice. James wanted me to turn the AC on last night, but I told him to get out from under the blankets.
want want want.
